Go Event Management Backend API

A robust and scalable RESTful API backend for an Event Management Platform, built with Go.

✨ Features

• User Authentication: Secure registration and login using JWT (JSON Web Tokens) and Bcrypt for password hashing.
• Role-Based Authorization: Distinguishes between creator and attendee roles, controlling access to specific API endpoints.
  • creator: Can create, update, and delete events.
  • attendee: Can view events, register for, and unregister from events.
• Event Management: Full CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations for events.
• Attendee Management: Functionality for attendees to register for and unregister from events.
• CORS Support: Configured to allow cross-origin requests from frontend applications.

🚀 Technologies Used

• Go (Golang): The primary programming language.
• Gin Web Framework: High-performance HTTP web framework for routing and API handling.
• MongoDB: NoSQL document database for flexible data storage.
• JWT (JSON Web Tokens): For stateless authentication.
• Bcrypt: For secure one-way password hashing.
• Docker: (Optional, for running MongoDB locally) Containerization.

⚙️ Setup and Run

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone [https://github.com/Sumit-2028/EventManagementBackend.git](https://github.com/Sumit-2028/EventManagementBackend.git)
   cd go-event-management-backend

2. Create a .env file in the root directory with your MongoDB URI and JWT Secret:

   MONGO_URI="mongodb://localhost:27017" # Or your MongoDB Atlas connection string
   JWT_SECRET="YOUR_VERY_STRONG_RANDOM_JWT_SECRET_KEY"
   PORT="8080"
   

3. Run MongoDB: Ensure a MongoDB instance is running (e.g., via Docker: docker run -d --name mongo-db -p 27017:27017 mongo).
4. Install Go dependencies:

   go mod tidy

5. Run the application:

   go run main.go

   The server will start on http://localhost:8080.
